PARIS - NYSE Euronext says costs related to its collapsed merger with German stock market Deutsche Boerse caused a slump in fourth quarter earnings.

The owner of the New York Stock Exchange, the Paris stock exchange and other operations reported net income of $110 million, or $0.43 per share, for the three months ended Dec. 31. That compares with $135 million, or $0.51 per share, in the same quarter the previous year.

Earnings were hit by $46 million in merger expenses and exit costs, largely from the collapsed Deutsche Boerse deal.

The two exchanges last week abandoned their $10 billion merger after European authorities blocked the tie-up over competition concerns.
